| Sumario: | In 2022, the Ministry of Education of the City of Buenos Aires made changes in the regulations related to attendance and promotion at the secondary level, contemplated in the Academic Regime. It was also announced the partial withdrawal of subsidies for students who did not comply with the 85% bimonthly attendance. The Buenos Aires authorities presented these measures as methods of intervention against absenteeism in schools, aggravated by the pandemic. This article aims to provide tools to think about the implementation of similar policies in other coordinates. I propose an analytical study —based on empirical and bibliographic material— in which I argue that these reforms are not only inadequate, but also detrimental to the population they claim to protect. I start from the reality of the south of the City, an area historically violated and traversed by necropolitics and slow death. Then I make an analysis at different levels —from the individual to the jurisdictional— that shows how individuals are held responsible for problems that are estructural. The “slow expulsion”, a specific phenomenon of vulnerable contexts is not addressed in these reforms and even the removal of the subsidy inaugurates an era of economic punishment whose effect is to intensify school exclusion. |
